Makes you wonder why he's selling it, and up for a swap for any 125cc on-road bike, and he's sad to see it go.

Sounds like theres something he's not mentioning to me

The stuff people think is acceptable to write is unbelievable - i've seen stuff a hell of a lot worse than that.

i'd never bid on a description as bad as that, write like a chav and it just gives you the impression it's been ragged to bits. It really isn't that hard to write a proper description.

also, if i see a huge font size and i wouldn't even bother reading it.

i'll be surprised if that sells.

its been well looked after apart from the 13k miles i rode the thing like i stole it, all wots wrong with it is the number plate holderonner from where i wheelied it and snapped it off and the brake lever where i dropped it from said wheelie.

new clutch might be in order soon from where i hoked the fuck out of it and please dont mail any questions about it because its my dads account and he thinks i rode it sensibly in my addidas 3 stripes

Do people actually still say "well brilliant" any more?!

Let's see if we can translate.

This is a very nice bike, sad to see it go really, it's been brilliant. 13,000 miles on the clock and well looked after. The only bad points are it needs a new front brake lever, {tail/stop light} and rear numberplate mounting {after a low speed drop.}
Paid £1600, will accept £850* - well worth the price**.
If you like what you see please email me***. Would also swap for any road-legal 125cc****.

* Not something you're allowed to say on eBay, though it's redundant anyway given the buy it now price.
** Why do sellers say this? The buyer will be the judge of that, matey.
*** No email address given. Again a complete waste. You'll have to use the ebay contact feature just like you would with any similar item you'd be interested in.
**** How's that going to work?

Not a great deal of pertinent info really, but at least it's reasonably easy to understand and he's covered the basics. Except, yknow, whether it's taxed (ok, that's covered in the images, but so is the mileage), MOT'd, if he has the V5, and if it's in a fit state to ride away.
The big question is, why is he wanting rid of it, only to get "any other 125"?!

[pinkyfloyd]

i've been watchin this bike. Its got a single bid....sadly the reserve hasn't been met. I so desperatly want it to sell so i can renounce my faith in the buy sell industry and demand the government revert back to trading with grain and beans. I've already got my eye on an sv 1000 and can't wait to offer the seller 3 pebbles and 2 sacks of grains

One wheelie too many?

Your missing the point, this is a brilliant piece of marketing. He's written the advert in teen-speak which is illegible to normal humans because he thinks thats where he's going to get the highest bidder.

iPhone 4 for £920?

i can go into o2 now and buy one for £549 so only an idiot is going to buy that.

if that sells then i'm going to buy the whole stock at the local o2 store.. iPhone 4 anyone? £919

That doesn't look too bad, got V5 so chances are it's not stolen...

Well, maybe they accidentally hit the "relist" button on a different bike rather than the "post new listing" one, and just changed all the details when they realised.

Wait ... that'd be an awesome dodge to avoid listing fees so long as the ebay fuzz didn't notice. I C wat U did thar b.warman.
